Serie A giants plot £25m January bid for recently-axed Chelsea star

Chelsea playmaker Oscar is reportedly set to be the subject of a £25million bid from Inter Milan in the upcoming January transfer window.

The Brazil international has barely featured for the Blues in the last two months, having lost his place in Antonio Conte’s line up since the manager’s hugely successful change to a 3-4-3 formation.

Oscar doesn’t have an obvious place in the new-look Chelsea side, with Eden Hazard firmly ahead of him in a number ten role, while Nemanja Matic and N’Golo Kante are clear favourites for the two central midfield spots.
